Hello,
I bought a Giandel 12V 4000 watt inverter and was using it for a short period of time before it simply stopped outputting 120v AC. It would still turn on, power through the USB dc port (charge a phone, etc) but it would not create an AC output.
Giandel was great and I sent them a video and they warranty'd it no problem (they had great support).
I still have the old inverter (they did not want it back). So I figured before I toss it I would open it up and check it out, make sure it wasn't something silly that I could fix myself (I'm proficient in soldering). I did open it up and notice there was about 20 35amp fuses, so I pulled them all and checked them for continuity and made sure they were all good.
Before I just toss this thing in the trash, is there anything else I should check? I don't see any obvious caps or burn marks on any of the components or circuit boards.
I can take some pictures if it doesn't seem like a lost cause...
